Bone density is a measurement of the mineral density in your bones. It is used to determine a person's risk for osteoporosis.
Humans and possibly a few other primates are the only animals that get a rash from poison ivy. Your dog and cat donât get it, nor do birds, deer, squirrels, snakes and insects. However, be sure to wash your dog after a walk near poison ivy because the urushiol can be carried on dogsâ fur and transferred to you!
The urushiol compound in poison ivy is not a defensive measure; rather, it helps the plant to retain water. It is frequently eaten by animals such as deer and bears. Toxicodendron radicans spreads either vegetatively or sexually.
